 * I don't think you have to worry about notability. He raced 2 NASCAR races, as well as several other notable series, in a time when lots of racing series existed besides NASCAR.  Royal broil  12:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Verifiability and tone
This article has problems with an unduly promotional tone and unsourced information. This includes the entire "early life" section and parts of the lead. In particular: There are more statements without sources, particularly in the "early life" section, where I expect sources will be very difficult to find. If these issues are not addressed soon, I'll begin removing unsourced content. Huon (talk) 13:17, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "was very likely the first totally deaf racecar driver" - how do we know there was no earlier one?
 * "His daughter, Angela "Connie" Tidwell Frady, is the owner of his legacy." - if I read the page history correctly, she's the author of this article. Is there any other relevancy of her owning the legacy to Tidwell?
 * "He was in the infantry and tank division." - uselessly vague. There were lots of infantry divisions and armored ("tank") divisions (see Category:United States Army divisions during World War II, and to my knowledge not a single "infantry and tank" division. So which division exactly did he serve in?
 * "Tidwell was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his service." - source, please?
 * The "undated" newspaper references are useless. Are our readers expected to check the entire archives of The Macon Telegraph for the eleven years of Tidwell's career to verify the statements supported by those sources?
 * "once swallowing a burning cigar when he was in an accident and was hanging out of the door of his car" - interesting trivia, source please?
 * "Tidwell took the checkered flag for the victory in front of a crowd of 5,000." - inappropriate tone. If the source has such information, how about this? "Before 5,000 spectators, Tidwell won the race with a lead of X seconds."
 * I think you should begin removing unsourced content right away! I hope you try to substantiate before removing.  Royal broil  00:18, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
